To save tax on long term capital gain (3 crore) arising from sell of a property, I bought another property for the same amount (Rs. 3 Crore) and paid the seller by cheques. Agreement to sale was also signed for 3 crore. However the stamp duty and registration charges were paid on 1 Cr only. Can I claim benefit U/s 54 on the entire 3 Cr?
They have just signed agreement to sale but if in the sale deed they have not used stamp paper of appropriate value then they have to alter their sale deed in order to claim exmption.

Thanks for the valuable advice. Mr. Karia - the authority will charge stamp duty and reg. fees only at the government/circle rate which will be less than actual/market price i.e. 3 cr. can we still get benefit on the entire 3 cr?
